Milkmen's Strike.

BUNKER HILL, Ill.,, Sept. 10.-The pro
ducers of milk in this vicinity supplying
the local depot of the Illinois MIX com
pany, claim its manager, Wood, has In the
past refused to contract for their product,
he having paid them at the end OF the
month, just such sum as he, In his Judg
ment fixed, they having no voice in max,
ing the price. 1t was, however,
generally satisfactory to the producers.
The manner of doing business and
consequently the uncertainty of prices
caused dissatisfaction, followed by de-
mand that contracts be entered into with
the producers. The dairymen's side Of
the present difficulty is that they offered
their milk eight months from the 1sC inst.
at ST. IS per 100 pounds. This Is claimed
to be as low as milk can be produced at a
profit The company refused to accept the
proposition, but offered $1.2O for this
month, slight advance for October and
November, and then S1.S5 for the
months following to April, claim
ing it to be an average OF Sl67.
This offer is declined, as they want pro
rata basis of monthly payments.
Today the producers refused to dump
their milk, the company only getting one
tenth of the supply. The average daily
shipment to the Illinois Company (the
Mount Cabanne Milk Company also has
depot here, is 5000 pounds. If the differ
ences are not soon adjusted 1t will prove q
serious loss to both sides The milkmen
say they are In the fight and will not sur
render, and proposition looking to a
compromise must be on favorable terms
before entertained.

Seventeenth army corps from 10000 to

are of fine physique. The cavalry have a
good pace but the men lack a firm seat,
many having been thrown. The officers
were somewhat bothered in handling the

toned to- The artillery movements were
sluggish. Altogether, however, the expert
ment inspires confidence in the army, the

CHOLLYS PROBATION.
rhe Herculean Task Which n PhiIadeI-
phia Belle Gave to Her LoYer


The engagement is Just announced of a
Philadelphia belle and a young man whose
name mas been conspicuous in the tennis
tournament this summer, says the Provi-
dence journal, and the story the gossips
tell thereof is something like this: The
youth was greatly smitten by the charms of
the damsel last winter, and followed her to
the watering place she chose for her sum-
mer outing. There he offered his hand and
heart, and she like silly child made her ac-
ceptance conditional on his winning first
prize at some tennis tournament She did
worse, for with the most inexcusable van
ity she told her girl friends what she had
done. When asked what she should do if
her champion were everywhere beaten, she
refused to consider such possibility for a
moment; although she is said to have
added on one occasion, ''of course, should
marry him any way"
Ignorant of this mental reservation on
the part of his lady love- the young man,
put on his mettle, played fervidly and con-
stantly, but never got even so far as the
finals in the tournaments he attended.
Meanwhile his lady love found that her
caprice had deprived her of the companion
ship OF her adorer, that he was simply going
about from place to place and getting in
gloriously defeated so that it was important
that something must be done.
In this emergency she took council with her
brother, and between them they concocted
a clever scheme. The brother consulted his
boon companion and suggested that it would
be clever and amusing device to get I'D
tournament with the condition attached to
the championship cup that the man winning
it should provide dinner for the PLAYERS.
1--WE can put in dollar apiece,' he said,
and buy some sort of a cup and then we'll
get Charlie here and let him win. He's
just crazy to get championship and we'u
stick him for the biggest kind of dinner.
He always does every thing of that sort up
awfully brown"
So said and so done. The tournament
was organized. Charlie was sent for and
carried every thing before him. He came
very near failure when one of the PLAYERS
took it into his head to win the first set and
make it five games love on the second be-
fore giving up the match. BY the time this
point was reached Charlie got so thoroughly
demoralized that his opponent had to play
with ludicrous awkwardness in order to
lose, and those who were IN the secret were
divided between fear of losing their dinner
and amusement at the situation. However.
In the end every thing worked according to
the plan, and at the dinner given by the
champion he announced his engagement.
